The Tale of Two WildPens... Or How Poetry and Poultry Sort of Mix
A name is a funny thing . You can run short on them in a family. That's why there are so many John Jrs. running around. And, this happened to us at WildPen too.

Many, many years ago I was building this site, which I had named "WildPen.com." Back then FlaxMan, my young and oh-so-helpful parrot, would run around my desk attacking and throwing the highlighters. After he got a few open and shot ink everywhere, I started calling him "WildPen." Stupidly, we then had WildPen.com and WildPen the parrot.

I stopped calling him WildPen and I thought we had that settled. But, it's recently gotten worse. FlaxMan and Sunny decided to set up a store at Etsy and they named it, you guessed it, Wild-freakin-Pen. Sooo... I now must ask:

Are you looking for the WildPen Cockatoos who run the Etsy shop? If so please see them at
the WildPen Beach Parrots Blog

Otherwise, you're in the right place to muck about in creative content so stick with me here.

I guess I should tell you a bit more about Sunny and FlaxMan, the rat finks who have left me to do all the work here. I'm just bitter. My staff members have moved on to bigger and better things, leaving me behind to wallow in poetry. Sunny and FlaxMan are now running the show at their digs on Etsy, twittering to all their fans and making me feel old. But, on to what's new:

Egah! It's Alive (finally) Again!
Wildpen, for good or for ill, is now open for anything but business again. Over the next weeks/months it will be getting an overhaul and new materials will be added.

Of note, the Life on the Wedge episodes have been resurrected, as a nod to the wild dotcom days. You can check out the flashings here.

You can still hear FlaxMan cutting loose, should you be missing the good old days.

Note to Whoever Cares About These Things: There are some very, very bad words used on this site. If you are a youngster, or a devout anything, I'd recommend/command thee to get surfing away now. You may also want to perform an exorcism on your CPU- your call.
